How To Demonstrate Human Evolution In A Lab

Slashdot points out an interesting Slate article on the ethical questions surrounding human and non-human cloning. Scientists may be able to clone a mammoth using an elephant, so cloning a Neanderthal might also be next up. But you could do it in a couple ways: 1) prepare the DNA and have a human give birth to it, 2) prepare the DNA and have a primate bring the embryo to term. Using option 2 could actually sorta show how humans evolved, since the process might include using primate DNA and could re-create several “missing links” in human evolution.
